No offense, but what you say implies you are the one assuming, and without education, and therefore ignorant.
Healing and killing are two very different things.
it takes 4.5 billion years of evolution to make a man. It takes 5 seconds to kill him with a rock.
Likewise, there isn't some magical- and yes magical is the right word- simple thing that can heal a man.
Simple things kill. Complex things create. This is a rule in many cases and I cannot at this moment think of many exceptions.
Crystals bend light. Ergo, a properly designed one can hold light and shoot it. There is nothing about this that implies any sort of health benefit, and the only potential use of it is war and power. Nothing else.
Healing requires intelligence, complexity, thought, procedure, etc etc.
The universe does not have these things but for the sake of destruction. All things naturally derived are a result of war.
Killing doesn't require these things. It only benefits from them.
Simply put: Science: you're doing it wrong. There is nothing simple that heals. Crystals are simple, and quite frankly, applicable to war.edit on 8-2-2012 by Gorman91 because: (no reason given)

There really isn't any way to do that. If you use electricity, you will leave behind obvious proof you used it. There is none for that.
Reason you would leave proof is because electricity is essential to doing more complex activities, as it is literally a free source of work for doing things.

I searched ATS and could not find a post like myn but if some one finds one like myn, I feel its always nice to revisit this for the new members and older members as well. I will include a few videos as they can explain the best with visuals to get a better under standing. I strongly believe the Egyptians had some help from a more advanced civilization than us today and if you watch the videos, you will see why. The videos may be a bit long but well worth your time if your willing to learn with a open mind.

Has anyone ever considered that they may just be big stacks of stone?
They had nothing to do when the Nile flooded,so Pharaoh said"Howay boys,let's tidy up a bit,eh?"
Do they need to have a purpose?

proof to us would be in a form that we only are familar with, therefore its possible for us to not find any physical "proof"....... IMHO the egyptians did NOT build the pyramids, i believe they were the ones that discovered them but thats just IMO.

Also time erases all evidence (and even quicker during glacial period transitions). I'm not sure if you all have seen it, but if not you should watch the documentary called "Life after people".

Well if you don't think they built them you'll have to explain the dozen other pyramids that were less advanced, all built within 200 years of each other.

Thing is, you are looking at the pyramids as the highest form of engineering they ever did. But this is simply not the case. The pyramids were kindergarten work compared to their later works.

Pyramid construction wasn't a long term thing. It was a style that came, and then left. And never really returned.

Now in this viewpoint, perhaps you are somewhat correct. Because the Egyptians of the old kingdom were not the same as the Egyptians in the middle kingdom. Not long after the pyramid era, the Egyptian civilization collapsed, and the pharaoh no longer held absolute power. During this time period, the Pyramids were abandoned because they were vulnerable to grave robbers and hard to defend. They shifted to cave funerals instead, and eventually large scale temples, shifting to the Valley of the kings.

The point is. I as an educated person cannot fathom why you look at the pyramids as the high point of Egypt when it was merely a short brief period of innovation that ended just as fast as it began.
Egyptian society lasted for 4000+ years. The most well known pyramids were built for 200 of them. That's 5% of their history.
You are ignoring 95% of their architectural discoveries and creative power.
Sorry. I do find that ignorant and disgusting.

As for the universe, it is not infinite. It is expanding and will some day probably contract.
And as for aliens, you're making a huge assumption that they would be anything like us. A species less intelligent than us with a billion years of time would exceed past our level.
